MP3 and MP4 formats are compression technologies for converting standard analog audio tracks (like those on a commercial music CD) to smaller digital computer files. As a point of reference, a standard Audio CD can hold roughly 20 songs while a CD encoded with MP3 files can hold as many as 200 songs.Normally when sound is compressed, the quality is dramatically diminished, but many empires were launched because of the MP3 format and its ability to deliver high compression rates with a minimum loss of sound quality.The MP3 format became an official standard in 1992 and began the chain of events that eventually created many popular music encoding programs and playback devices.
An Mp4 player is amongst the latest gadgets available in the electronic market. This is in keeping with the upgraded version of Mp3 to Mp4. Mp4 is fundamentally the global file extension for the
official container format defined in the MPEG-4 standard (ISO 14496-14).
This is streamable and supports all kinds of multimedia content and
advanced content like 2D and 3D animated graphics, etc.
The Mp4 player can be attached to the computer, laptop and television.
This devise is also available with its own in built sound system. Most
of these players can also play the lower Mp versions. However it is most
suited for the latest in the series.One of the big advantages of MP4 technology is its interoperability. It is an open standard, implying it is license free. Therefore, there already exist a number of different tools supporting it. These include Mac, Linux, PocketPC and of course Windows.
